Chapter 92

Christine

I wake up with a heaviness that isn’t as suffocating as yesterday. Seeing my parents and talking with my dad helped alpy at least enough to make my heartbeat feel like it isn’t dragging stones behind it. But the guilt is still there, simmering beneath my ribs like a quiet bruise.

By the time I reach the office, the day has already begun to blur into noise and movement. DreamSpace is unusually quiet this morning not silent, but just hushed. The kind of hush that feels like

  • In the name of vows   Chapter 105

    Chapter 105Christine’s povChristine sat on the edge of her bed, phone in hand, heart hammering. She stared at the blank screen, unsure if she had the courage to type.Coffee. Just to talk. Public place.Her thumb hovered over the keyboard. She swallowed hard. “You can do this,” she whispered to herself. “It’s just coffee. No expectations. Just to talk.”She typed the message, erased it, typed it again. Each time she tried to press send, her nerves flared. The thought of seeing Adrian again while they are alone, quiet, really made her chest tighten.Finally, she hit send. Her phone buzzed almost immediately with a response from him.“Where and when”She responded quickly. Ten minutes Corner cafe on Linden.Her stomach lurched. She had sent ten minutes but it was not enough to fully prepare herself, but enough to remind her that she couldn’t back down now. She grabbed her coat, tried to steady her breathing, and left.At the cafe, Adrian was already there. He sat with his hands folded

  • In the name of vows   Chapter 104

    Chapter 104Adrian’s povThe message came in while Adrian was staring at a spreadsheet he hadn’t actually been reading.Christine ; Coffee? Just to talk. Public place.He blinked once, then read it again.Just to talk.No expectations.His chest tightened but not with fear this time, but with something cautious and hopeful. Christine didn’t reach out often anymore. When she did, it meant she had thought it through.He didn’t reply right away.Not because he didn’t want to but because he didn’t want to sound too eager.Then he exhaled, shook his head at himself, and typed.When and where?The response came almost immediately.Ten minutes. Corner cafe on Linden.Adrian stood so fast his chair rolled back.“Cancel my next meeting,” he said to his assistant as he grabbed his jacket. “If anyone asks, I’m unavailable.”“Sir but you have_”“I’ll explain later.”He didn’t.The cafe was small and warm, the kind of place people went to slow down without meaning to. Adrian spotted Christine im

  • In the name of vows   Chapter 103

    Chapter 103Christine’s POVChristine knew the calm wouldn’t last.It never did.She was halfway through a meeting when Angela slipped into the room and leaned close to her ear.“There’s a situation,” Angela murmured.Christine didn’t look up from the table. “Define situation.”Angela hesitated. That alone was enough.“Adrian’s top executives,” she said quietly. “They’re here. Unannounced. And they’re asking for you.”That got Christine’s attention.She closed the folder in front of her slowly and looked up at the people seated around the table. “Give me five minutes,” she said, voice steady. “We’ll continue after.”No one argued. No one questioned her.That part still surprised her sometimes.Outside the conference room, she stopped walking.“Why are they here?” Christine asked.Angela shook her head. “They said it was about collaboration. But they’re quite aggressive.”Christine exhaled once through her nose.Of course they were.“Where is Adrian?”“He doesn’t know yet.”That made h

  • In the name of vows   Chapter 102

    Chapter 102Adrians POVAdrian Kellerham had faced silence before.Boardrooms could go quiet in a way that felt sharp, like a blade pressed too close to ones skin. The kind of silence that waited for him to speak, to decide, to control the room with a single sentence.But this silence this time was different.It followed him home.He shut the door behind him and stood there longer than necessary, his hand still resting on the handle. The apartment lights were off. He hadn’t bothered turning them on yet. The dim glow from the city outside slipped through the windows, soft and distant, like it didn’t want to intrude.He exhaled slowly.Christine hadn’t replied.And for once, that didn’t feel like rejection.It felt a bit different like she was giving him space.Adrian walked further inside and dropped his jacket over the back of the chair. He loosened his tie, then stopped, his fingers curling into the fabric like he might pull too hard if he wasn’t careful.That was the problem, wasn’t

  • In the name of vows   Chapter 101

    Chapter 101Christine’s povChristine Kellerham stared at the message on her phone until the screen became dimmed.She tapped it once, bringing the light back on. The words were still there, unchanged. Simple. Careful.“Thank you for letting me come by yesterday.”She didn’t realize she was holding her breath until she finally let it go. The release was slow and measured, like she wasn’t sure she was allowed to feel relief yet. Her chest tightened anyway, not from pain, but from the weight of everything that hadn’t been said.Adrian hadn’t asked for anything. No follow up. No invitation. No pressure wrapped inside polite words. That, more than the message itself, unsettled her. It felt unfamiliar. And unfamiliar had always made her cautious.Christine locked her phone and leaned back against the counter, staring at the wall across from her. The quiet around her felt earned, not empty. For once, the world wasn’t pulling at her from every direction. It was simply waiting. But how long c

  • In the name of vows   Chapter 100

    Chapter 100Adrian’s POVThe call ends, and for a second, I don’t move.I just sit there and stare.My phone is still in my hand, my elbow resting on the desk, my tie loosened, my jacket long forgotten somewhere behind the chair. The office is quiet in that strange way it only gets when something big has just happened. The kind of quiet that feels unreal.I blink once.Then twice.Then I laugh.It starts low, rough, like I’m not sure I’m allowed to feel this yet. Then it breaks free. A full laugh. The kind I haven’t let out in months. It surprises me so much I have to stand up, like sitting isn’t enough to hold it.We did it.No. We survived it.The investors Christine’s father reached out to didn’t just listen. They stepped in. Quietly. Strategically. They backed Adove without demanding blood in return. No humiliating terms. No absurd contracts that will affect Christine or Dreamspace. Just solid belief and steady hands where everything had been shaking.The stock stabilized.The ble
